Straight Arrows

Straight Arrows is a lightweight Forge mod that makes archery feel faster, cleaner, and more precise without adding new weapons, enchantments, abilities, keybinds, or progression systems.

The goal is simple: fully draw your bow, aim at your target, and the arrow goes where you’re aiming.

Features

• Fully drawn arrows fly completely straight
  • No gravity
  • No arrow drop
  • Extremely fast projectile speed
  • Improved accuracy toward your aim direction
• Partial draws still use gravity
  • Quick shots remain less accurate and ballistic
  • Full draws are rewarded with straight-flight arrows
• Fast arrows
  • Player-fired arrows travel at approximately 5× their normal speed
  • Projectile damage is compensated so the increased velocity does not simply multiply arrow damage
• Works with vanilla bows and arrows
• Supports many modded bows and arrows that use Minecraft’s standard AbstractArrow projectile system
• Crossbows also benefit from straight projectile flight

Straight Arrows does not modify:

• Player animations

Straight Arrows only changes the behavior of player-fired arrow projectiles.

Most modded arrows that extend Minecraft’s standard AbstractArrow system should work automatically.

Mods that use completely custom projectile entities may require additional compatibility.
